Those 10% global tariffs that only last 150 days are a fucking joke compared to IEEPA tariffs.

 

[mlanguishi]

Ohh he went hard on Iran 'better negotiate or..'

And said his picks against him 'are embarrassments to their families' ouch

 

[Breadbassket]

Trump:

India is paying tariffs to us, and we are not paying tariffs to them.

 

[Tony Martin's Force Ghost]

Fucking seethe jeets. How many of these fucking reporters are fucking Indian Jesus Christ.

 

[SCV]

because they got banned from their own thread for being insufferable retards.

This thread moves too fast to keep up with everything. Can you give me a qrd on this?

 

[Terrifik]

Chaos because supreme court cucks .
Get to dmca /copyright case supreme court i expect it to be a stupid ruling.

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

Why is it always gay sex or diaper poopy butt for the major Trump detractors here? Genuinely curious. Is it an attempt at humor?

Given where we are, calling him a Nazi or a racist would just make us like him more. So all they have left is potty humor.

 

[Bindo]

The people currently in charge of (and ruining) the country are either blacks promoted via DEI or third world browns who have exploited America's social and economic liberalism to create ethnic cartels.

Or they are just still fucking boomers. The youngest of them aren't even collecting Social Security yet, and boomers in general have clung on to leadership roles as a rule.

Damn

Don said judges Gorsuch and Barrett are an "embarrassment to their families".

 

[babyDunk]

Wtf is up with all the Indians in the press room??

 

[mlanguishi]

Damn

Don said Gorsuch and Barrett are an "embarrassment to their families".

Yeah, I eta'd mine on that. That's as hard as I ever heard a president bash their own pick. Wow.

ETA: He did well, and this was a massive case really in the end. Will have long after effects unlike most. Been a wild week after some calm with aliens and this.

 

[DumbDude43]

Trump:

Effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and all existing Section 301 tariffs remain fully in place and in full force and effect.

Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.

sounds like he chose conflict.
i guess now we'll find out whom the government truly obeys: the president, or the courts.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

this maneuver of getting SCOTUS to confirm he had these powers is sorta like that time in Doctor Who when the Daleks got the Doctor to confirm they were Daleks and then the Dalek machine started up

 

[Breadbassket]

Trump:

"We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars... and so, I say, 'What happens to all of the money that we took in?' It wasn't discussed. Wouldn't you think they would've put one sentence in there saying keep the money or don't keep the money?"

Thoughts of the Press Conference.

Trump did the “look at the stonks it’s over 50,000!!!” meme.

Trump admits to stopping jeets from nuking each other. That isn’t the win you think it is….

Doesn’t mention Canadian 100% tariff on dairy. Doesn’t mention Chinese slave labor. Doesn’t mention insane EU regulations. I guess that could come off ‘whiny’.

Trump seems to want to use more embargo’s? I guess it’s embargo whack-a-mole from here on out.

Trump listening to Kavanugh’s dissent is good. Signing an immediate 10% tariff under article 102. (Idk if this is a W.)

QnA was pretty pointless. Lots of “I’m great” boomer waffling. Shits down CNN and calls them fake news. Fent entering the USA is down 30%. Refund question asked, non-answer given, something, something, more court and political theater. Hakeem Jeffries called low iq.

Oh btw murder rates are down apparently. Trump says he hates the high interest rates, really?

Trump stopped the fighting between the Kurds and Syrians.

A message to the Iranians “they better come to a good deal fast”.

“My relationship is wonderful, doing great trade deals with India”, that’s really fucking bad.

All in all, not a terrible cope stream. Lots of big yikes moments but Trump really stressed that we are doing tariffs.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

I just find it odd that the President is describing his gay sex fantasies on live TV. I'm for antidumping measures and targeted tariffs on vital industries for the American economy.

Haters will say it's fake

 

[Breadbassket]

Reporter: The Supreme Court Justices who ruled against the tariffs, are they still invited to your State of the Union?

Trump: "Yeah, they are invited — barely... Three are happily invited... Honestly, I couldn't care less if they come."

 

[Onepumpplumpchump]

I wonder if we're going to strike Iran tonight or wait another week or two. It's likely going to be a day when the American markets are closed

Probably not this weekend. Mid March is my guess. If its next weekend I make money though.

You do know that is trump cope right? The ruling was specifically about him using wrong methodologies to implement the global tariffs.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

I don't know if it's just the lighting but Trump looks the best I've seen him in years in this press conference

It’s gods’ presence
